Letterhead and Matching Envelopes
Letterhead comes in two styles:
- The two-color (red and gray) version is printed on a bright-white, 24-pound smooth recycled stock. This style is available in both standard and monarch sizes.
- The one-color (black) version is printed on 24-pound white bond and is available only in the standard size (frequently used for internal correspondence and mass mailings).
Monarch-size letterhead (7-1/4 x 10-1/2) is designed for department heads and administrative officers. Names and titles (such as Jane H. Doe, Director, Center for Interdisciplinary Studies) are listed. Matching envelopes measure 3-7/8 x 7-1/2.
Standard-size letterhead (8-1/2 x 11) is designed for general office use. Letterhead copy lists the name of the college, department, office, or center; names and titles are not listed. Matching envelopes measure 4-1/8 x 9-1/2 (the Number 10 size).
Envelope copy does not include personal names and titles, or telephone numbers.
Subsidiary logos may not be included on University letterhead.

On second sheets, margins should match that used for the top sheet.
